virtualenvwrapper setup

I've installed virtualenvwrapper using sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper. However, when I run source bash_profile I get this error -bash: /usr/local/share/python/virtualenvwrapper.sh: No such file or directory

This is what my .bash_profile looks like:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:${PATH}


export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/share/python/virtualenvwrapper.sh

I'm running OSX Mountain Lion and installed python using the instructions provided here https://python-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/starting/install/osx/

Solution

  • Instead of passing an absolute path to source, use a dynamic one:

    source "$(which virtualenvwrapper.sh)"
